I had concrete floor put in the back half of the new shed for the lifts and camper to sit on last Thursday. Today was move in day. Man, it was nice to have that floor to roll the lifts around on, rather than fighting with soft gravel.

Not sure if this is unique to the 66 or not. But I think the boot I got with the convert last fall is missing something. Looks like there should be something that slides into a metal rail on the top of the back seat. And that it should have some way to attach it to a valcro strip that is sowed into the front...

PS belt gone, AC and Alternator belt wrapped up and engine overheating. Off on foot to find a house with a 1/2” wrench. Fortunatly alternator belt good enough to get me h...

Need to put insurance on the Chevelle so I can drive it this year. Not sure what to put on it for value? Not sure if the insurance company will want it appraised? That will be funny when they look at it and probably go really. But please chime in on what kind of number you think.

Making new plug wires for the 442, so wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks on how to get the wire through a 90 degree boot easily before crimping on the connector? I've tried WD40, silicone, etc. and it's still difficult.

I bought this car about 4-5 years ago and had it stored at John T's place. He needed the room and with the new shed, I'm SUPPOSED to have room for all my "stuff", so it came home today.

Fortunately the channel is in good shape after sanding and removing rust that has built up over the last 25 years or so.

The Harrison radiator in the 442 is in good shape but pretty gunky inside, so I'd like to have it boiled out and repainted. Are there any rad shops left in the metro anymore? Seems like rad's have become a disposable item these days.
